MAMMOTH LAKES, CA (March 21, 2015) The fourth and final stop of the U.S. Revolution Tour took place at Mammoth Mountain, CA with Birk Irving (Winter Park, CO) taking home his third Rev Tour win of the season in the halfpipe and nabbing the overall tour title in both slopestyle and halfpipe. Katherine Alexander grabbed the overall tour title for the women.

In men’s slopestyle, Jonah Williams (Park City, UT) landed a double cork 1080 to beat out Irving by just two points and secure his first Rev Tour win with Aaron Milligan (Avon, CO) taking third. Behind Irving in halfpipe were Alec Bowman (S. Lake Tahoe, CA) and Jaxin Hoerter (Breckenridge, CO).

On the women’s side, Japan’s Saoir Suzuki earned top honors in women’s halfpipe, edging out U.S. rookie team skier Jeanne Crane-Mauzy (Park City, UT) and New Zealander Brittany Hawes. In slope, Gabrielle Ward (Bend, OR) linked together technical rail tricks to earn her win in front of Americans Nikita Rubocki (Boise, ID) and Alexander.

The U.S. Revolution Tour handed out $67,000 in a total tour prize purse this season and has proven to be a great stepping stone tour for up and coming riders like Irving, Milligan and Rubocki who will all compete as a part of the 2015 U.S. Junior Worlds Team.
